The Other Side of the Door: What If

This is a scary movie and this scene is really intriguing. I hope you like it.

What if is usually used in the beginning of a question,
when we ask about the consequences of an action. We use what if here
to indicate present or future situations.

For example,

What if there is no fish in the ocean? You won’t be
able to fish for the family

.

What if I go home earlier? You will miss all the important decisions of the meeting.

Watch the movie segment and say how the main character would probably answer the question. Follow the examples above.

What if I could bring your son back to you just one more time?

What if I could give you the chance to say your final goodbye?

Work in pairs: Think about two possible answers.

Make a guess based on the evidence provided by the segment: What if she opens the door?

Movie Segments for Warm-ups and Follow-ups

A little about myself

I'm a teacher at Casa Thomas Jefferson, Brasilia, Brazil. I'm a Branch Coordinator and Teacher Trainer as well. I really like movies and seeing them with "different" eyes, trying to see how I can use them in my classroom. Recently, I have dedicated my ideas to grammar activities with movie segments because, apparently, teachers use movies for many purposes, but grammar. Working with movie segments fosters students' production and interest. I truly believe that grammar exercises should be attractive. I have just developed a new blog for movie segments to enhance topic based classes, focusing on conversation, listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. If you have suggestions for the blogs and the activities, just say it!
